C2/Day 14 - Is Special K too sugary? (plus running for the joy of it)
Morning All,
I've realised that I am taking C2 more slowly, not watching videos over the weekend etc. Maybe I need to watch it all closer together to get more benefit. Does anyone else do this?
When I logged on I got my 3 month questionnaire and the Day 14 video asked me how I had got on? Looking back on these 2 weeks, my feelings are mixed, 3 takeaway dinners but 8 gym sessions. Good and bad behaviour. I really think sugar may be my downfall, sugar and chocolate. I've been eating Special K sustain for brekkie with a small spoon of sugar on top. Could this be starting me off the wrong foot for the day? I think natural yoghurt and fruit is the better option but I always prefer the cereal, is that a sign I'm addicted?
The 3 month questionnaire asked me for my weight and I was smug because I didn't actually know it since I threw away my scales. I have gained a lot of muscle from my 3/4 resistance sessions each week. My body is defnitely more toned from that!!! I have decided to add in some more cardio though.
About 4 years ago, I used to run for the joy of it, it shifted my cellulite and toned me up but that was all just a great side effect. Since moving towns in the last 3 years, I have only run to lose weight and not enjoyed it as much. I aim this week to do a couple of runs just for the love of running. Will try to get out today whilst it is still light and get down to the river. I also think running used to keep me slim because it kept my stress levels and therefore cortisol down. Wish me luck!!
I had a really tough day on Sunday, I know I've made progress and really started to tone up but I just had a day where I looked in the mirror and could only see the bad bits! Is that the duck that highlights those? Probably!!!
Anyway, not quitting but working hard today...so far:
Up at 5.30AM to do ..
20 min jog to gym and back
60 min resistance session
Eaten...
Special K
Yoghurt and fruit
Slice of leftover pizza!!! - arrggh!! - why does it taste still good the next day?
I am still heading in the right direction so will give myself credit for that.
Enjoy the sunshine all!

PS One day, when I am feeling brave I will ask you how you managed to throw your scales away. I know I ought to, but the thought traumatises me!
You might be right about the sugar - Special K is full of sugar, and if you're adding more to it.... I know what you mean though. I'm not generally a cereal person but last week I bought a box and ended up demolishing it within a few days as I found I was actually craving it - wheat or sugar? I'm not sure, but I'm not buying anymore.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

Good luck with the running and hope you start to enjoy it again. I think I will give a bit of running a go soon (when I feel better). I never really enjoyed it in the past, but it's such a good way to get in shape.
Well done for getting up so early and jogging to the gym etc
Take care
